Yesterday James Gary and Annie Arehi-
bald alas Annie Gary, Of LOudensville,
Marshall county, a little town just this
side Of Cameron, were brought to the city
and committed to jail, charged with Sio-
lation of the internal revenue laws. Seye-
raj attempts have been made to arrest Gary
heretofore, but they all failed, he having
the reputation of being tough customer
and dangerous man to handle. Detective
T. p. ShallcroSs went out to Loudensyilie
Wednesday, and succeeded in placing Gary
under arrest, but the prisoner, under the pre-
text of desiring to change his clothing, man
aged to give the detective the slip. Detect
i've Shallcross went to Cameron and consult
ed with Constable John Bnrley, and about
daylight Thursday morning Officers Burnley
and ]. W. Mackey went 20 Loudensyilie,
and once more tackled Gary in his domi-
Gle. The officers stationed themselves one
at each exit from the house, and then
made known their presence. Gary, seeing
his escape cut of, surrendered, and was
taken to Cameron. Meanwhile, Detective
Shallcross came on to Wheeling and Sc
cur ed a warrant for Mrs. Gary, and she
being also arrested, the couple were
brought to this city yesterday. Ii Is said
Gary and his wife have been selling liquor
with scarcely a pretext at eonceaiment'

Games and Notes Of Interest

The VI. W. Bells, crack amateur team
from Pittsburg, tackled the Wheeling team
yesterday afternoon, and were defeated by
a score of Is to s. The game was without
special features of interest, the home team
seeming to be able to make scores when
ever they felt 50 inclined, while the Bells
were completely at the mercy of little Sui
Ivan, who enjoyed the picnic immensely,

illumined his youthful phiz, as man after
man went down before his effective deliv-
cry.
The left field work of Madden is deserv-
ing of notice as is also the pitching of S.
Smith, who held the Wheeling sluggers
down well, considering the very poor sup
port accorded him.
The same teams play again to-day, and
as our own late lamented Smith will oc-
cupy the box for the visitors, better game
may be expected.
The full score yesterday was as follows

Default of Bail.
Yesterdays REGISTER contained an an
nouncement of the arrest Of "Plugser'
and "Suoot" Condry, by Officers West
and Shorts, on warrants sworn out before
Justice Davis, the suspects being charged
with completely in the robbery OF DIR. Ora
crafts residence at Elm Grove. At least
one, and possibly two Others, were engaged
in the Job. but the authorities are having
some trouble in putting their hands on the
guilty parties. Justice Davis, determined
that the prisoners should not wiggle out
of Jail upou any evidence which might be
trumped up by their pals, after comforting
with other county Authorities, last evening
arraigned his men under what Is termed
the mot of good fame" law, found in
chapter l53 of the Code, as follows:
Sec. |. Every Justice and Constable
shall he CONSERVATION of the peace within
his county. As such cOnservator, every
Justice shall have power to require from
persons not of good fame security Tor their
good behavior for term not exceeding one
year"
Under this the prisoners, John, alias
"Plugger" Condry, and Mike, alias -" his.
ky Snoot" Condry, were committed to jail
for one year, in default of 81, 900 bail.
There are several other notorious characters
at large with whom the same course ought
to he taken.

A local team will make tour Of the

practice every morning at the park Tor one

SteubeRriHe Herald,
The hteHigeneeT OF yesterday morning
tried hard to raise a sensation in base ball
circles, by accusing this paper of starting
reports without taking the trouble to veri-
fy them. Anybody who knows anything
about the facts in the case knows that our
Fourteenth street contemporary is dead
wrong in its position on the question
in point Crogan did ask for his release,
not because he was dissatisfied with the
Wheeling management, but because
of certain injurious reports which
had been circulated by one
or two menS who ought TO
take back seat before they show up their
colossal ignorance to any greater extent.
The article in the REGISTER was nothing
if not complimentary to our great left
fielder, and the attempts of the InteilgeHcer
TO saddle its own errors on our shoulders
was in very poor taste to say the least.
Jack Crogan is the back bone of the Wheel
ing team besides being the most popular
man in the club, and there is no doubt
but what be will continue to fill his old
time position TO the satisfaction of every
body interested in the success of the Ma
rooms.

finished the grading last Tuesday. There
is yet between one and two miles of track

The McWha Bonds.

4 special from BurgettstOwn says: when
the executor Of the estate of the murdered
Mrs. McWha, of Holidays Cove, took the
$40, 900 worth of bonds, which were so Sc
curely hidden that they were not found till
some days after the murder, TO Moneys
Bank, in Steubenville, to collect the in
terest up TO July, he was struck with as
constituent and CONSERVATION when MIR.
Mooney told him that the coupons for July
bad been detached and on looking at the
bonds again he found the coupons for Feb
ruary, 1888, were also cut off. Where the
coupons are and who cut them of is the
subject of much speculation. The mnr-
dered woman never cut them of but always
too the bonds to the bank and had them
cut of there The bonds were so well con-
cealed in the top of dressing case, and the
coupons were so neatly clipped that it looks
highly improbable as the work Of burglar.
Baker, when asked in Jail about the bonds
before they had been found, said he had
never seen them, and the prosecution
thought he told the truth about it till this
turned up"

freely in the intoxicating cup and feared
the usual sequel 10 such indulgence. 1t
came quicker than was anticipated, how
ever, and has driven him from his home
